    Swifties are banning together once again — this time to help a Florida bride pay for her wedding without having to sell her Taylor Swift signed guitar.

    Bride Emily Harris was seriously considering selling her red, Taylor Swift signed guitar — gifted to her by her father for her 16th birthday — in order to afford her wedding later this year. When she asked her father to look into pricing, the bride and her family got a response they never expected.

    Harris’ father, Randy , who expressed hesitation in his daughter selling the guitar, made a post in Taylor Swift's Vault fan page on Facebook to gauge interest and was met with several Swifties who sided with his hesitancy.

    "My daughter is considering selling her signed guitar to help pay for her wedding, any advice/help would be greatly appreciated," he posted in the group before receiving hundreds of responses — most advising Harris not to sell the guitar. While suggestions to scale back the wedding and trim their budget were tossed out, it was one fan’s suggestion to start a GoFundMe fundraiser that allowed Emily to have the best of both worlds.

    “Honestly, drop a GoFundMe for the wedding! I’d be happy to chip in a little so she gets to have the wedding she wants while not having to sacrifice such a treasure!” a fan wrote. That’s exactly what Emily did and turns out, many more Swifties were willing to chip in what they could to help out.

    As of March 6, fans have far exceeded Emily’s $1,813 goal by donating juts shy of $3,000 towards Emily’s wedding budget.

    "I've been speechless, really," Emily told WTSP of fellow Swifties' generosity. "I feel like this is a reminder that there are good people in this world. There is just genuine good in this world."

    Her fiancè, Jake McDaniel , told Inside Edition , “I do think it's very special that there's a fan group out there that cares so deeply about the memorabilia that exists for this artist that they're willing to start a GoFundMe page.”

    On her fundraising page, Emily promises fans to “definitely pay it forward when we can.” Find the couple’s GoFundMe page here .
